Hi:
Concrete slab (thick) on metal deck (formwork only) with steel beams below. No composite action required. The steel beam ( a few feet long) below just hang from the deck for piping support.
The studs are actually used to attached the beam to the slab. The stud are specified as 14" long...
Any suggestion on this? Thanks
I am using SAP to medel a wall with steel angle.
The vertical wall is modeled by sheel elements. The angle is parrell to wall, leg out, down. The horizontal leg tip is connected to wall.
For stiffness issue, I would like to model the angle at its real location...
Hi:
I am working on a concrete roof slab ( on steel deck) with high uplift pressure.
I need to calculate the stud on steel beam to hold down the slab.
Here is my thought:
1. calculate each beam tributary area for wind uplift force
2. The net uplift force will be taken by studs as tension...
Hi:
I am designing some big equipment enclosure walls.
These are concrete walls (box type), total 6 next to each other. There are gravity loads, seismic loads (3 directions), out of plan wind loads.
The height is about 40 ft, each cell width is about 40 ft. There is perpendicular concrete...
Hi:
For seismic design, ACI requires boundary elements when the stress exceeding 0.2f'c.
If this is one piece wall, the boundary element location is at each end. If this is a T or box type lay out, do you consider this provision apply to the intersection of perpendicular walls?
I would think...
